    20 Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail and the mountains were covered. 15 cubits is not but 22.5 feet. I got trees taller than that. Maybe it means AND upwards. More that 15 cubits.

    I especially like the comment by ACM where he/she has us to notice verse 16 - The Lord Shut Them In. I noticed that in the bible years ago - not Noah, but God wanted us to know that HE closed the door, and we know that door could not be opened without him. Also it lets us know that when God takes his church (those that are ready) out of the earth that it will be powerful.
  • BSP on Genesis 7 - 5 years ago
    Verse 1~Jehovah God took special note of Noah's righteousness and he was going to reward him and his family by preserving them through the flood.
  • Stan Jett on Genesis 7 - 5 years ago
    2
    Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female.
    Now Moses, who wrote this knew what animals was clean or unclean, but how did Noah know? I don't think Noah had to know. For God brought the animals to the ark and made them go in.
  • ACM on Genesis 7 - 5 years ago
    One of the most important verses in this chapter is 16 which say that the Lord shut Noah in. God gave Noah and his lot protection and shut him in. If the arc is shut from outside they have to wait for God to open from outside when it is safe to do so. God is patient with us. We need also to learn patience from Him.
  • Bruce on Genesis 7 - 5 years ago
    He took Male and Female of All The Unclean=2. Of The Clean He Took 3 Males and 3 Females. 6 1 One For a Sacrifice =7 (Verse 2,3 and 9).
  • Ian Coady on Genesis 7 - 5 years ago
    I think people are missing what the bible tells us in this chapter. Look ! -
    Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female.
    3
    Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.
    to me that looks like 8 pairs of each species on the ark
  • Shirley on Genesis 7 - 5 years ago
    These are great preparation and renewal scriptures for everyone to meditate on before the second coming of Jesus.

  • Methuselah on Genesis 7 - 5 years ago
    ...to cathy...love ur comment...to all who wonder about cain,he is nine generations removed from the flood and was probably deceased...if not,he perished in the flood ordained by God,not of man's hands
  • Cathy on Genesis 7 - 5 years ago
    7:1- "Come thou" reminds me of the Precious Invitation Of Our LORD and Saviour JESUS CHRIST, Matthew 11:28-30
    28 Come unto ME, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

    29 Take MY yoke upon you, and learn of ME; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

    30 For MY yoke is easy, and MY burden is light
    The Ark is a Picture of CHRIST-SAFETY!
  • Lorease on Genesis 7 - 5 years ago
    Adrian, there are many years between Cain, the son of Adam
  • Adrian on Genesis 7 - 5 years ago
    So what happened to cain?
  • BSP on Genesis 7 - 5 years ago
    Verse 1~God took notice of Noah and his family's righteousness. It was not in vain that Noah stayed faithful to Jehovah God and it is not in vain to be faithful to God today.
  • MNYAWI on Genesis 7 - 5 years ago
    As the days of Noah were,so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.For as in the days before the flood,they were eating and drinking,marrying and giving in marriage,until the day that Noah entered the ark,And the did not know until the flood came and took them all away,SO ALSO WILL THE COMING OF THE SON OF MAN BE.
  • Leigh Hunter on Genesis 7 - 5 years ago
    Whoops! Wrong Cain.
  • BSP on Genesis 7 - 5 years ago
    Verse 11~I really admired the fact that Noah stayed faithful to Jehovah God for hundreds of years and not just a few years. He is an excellent example in endurance that we can imitate.
  • Mary on Genesis 7 - 6 years ago
    Yes. Cain died. Genesis 7 vs 21 ...and the mountains were covered....all flesh died that moved upon the earth...and every man. Genesis 7 vs 22 All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died.
  • Sonia burke on Genesis 7 - 6 years ago
    Hi if Cain was marked by god not to killed by any man . them here comes the flood that took everything except Noah what happened to Cain . is he still alive
  • A disciple on Genesis 7 - 6 years ago
    "For yet seven days...and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth." Vain man thinks that he is immortal, right up until the day his soul departs. The sign that God has given the world is Jesus dying on the cross for our sins. As they make light of it and squander their precious time, so God removes His restraint, and the transgressors come to the full.
  • A disciple on Genesis 7 - 6 years ago
    "For yet seven days, and I WILL cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth." While multitudes are feverishly scanning the internet for every latest evil secret revealed, they think that by their little News sites they will be able to fight back what God pronounced MUST BE for Him to come!
  • A disciple on Genesis 7 - 6 years ago
    "And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation." Up until the mid 1960's the remains of the ark could be seen on Mt. Ararat in Southern Turkey/Armenia: a stunning testimony of the fact, that ONE DAY WILL BE THE LAST DAY FOR THIS PRESENT EVIL WORLD! And the Word which God has spoken is what will judge us all!
  • A disciple on Genesis 7 - 6 years ago
    Donna Cromb; You asked how I "came up with" 1656? Just add the number of years that Moses wrote. Adam 130 Seth 105 Enos 90 Cainan 70 Mahalaleel 65 Jared 162 Enoch 65 Methuselah 187 Lamech 182 Noah 500 = 1556 100 years building the Ark (the 600th year of Noah's life) = 1656 After the Creation was the Cataclysm. Adam died 46 years before the birth of Noah. Enoch Preached 687-987.
  • A disciple on Genesis 7 - 6 years ago
    Someone asked, How do you get 1656 years? By adding up the years till each son mentioned was born; e.g. "Adam lived 130 tears and begat Seth..Seth lived 105 years and begat Enos.." (etc.) That's the number you have to keep adding not the length of their lives. Afterwards you can add in the years of their lives to see who was still alive and for how long. Shem lived for 35 years after Abraham died.
  • A disciple on Genesis 7 - 6 years ago
    BSP "He gave the people surrounding Noah plenty of time to get onto the ark.." Oh how well we can identify with that; we have simply to add the years that ARE WRITTEN, to see just how long God gave them. It was 1656 after the Creation, that Noah and his family entered into the Ark. All those years and generations of having the Word of Christ coming, only in the end to abandon the Spirit of God!
  • BSP on Genesis 7 - 6 years ago
    Verse 16: God shut the door at a certain time. He gave the people surrounding Noah plenty of time to get onto the ark, but because they failed to do so they lost their lives.
  • A disciple on Genesis 7 - 6 years ago
    Hi Cheryl; No, not a Publisher's addition! the clean beasts were to go by sevens into the ark. So, were the "two by two's" two pairs? that would make sense for the "seven's" and for the repopulating of the earth as well. With three stories, and as large a a Battleship, its amazing to think about the greatness of what Noah did! And in the 100 years it took to build the ark, still no one repented!
  • Bruce on Genesis 7 - 6 years ago
    Cheryl: Of every clean Beast thou shall take to thee by sevens, the mail and his female: and of beast that are not clean by two,the male and his female. Of fowls also of the air by sevens,the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth Genesis 7:2-3. It has never been changed.
  • Cheryl Dawn on Genesis 7 - 6 years ago
    The Holy Bible used to say only two of each creature came to Noah to put on the ark,not seven. Publishers changes?Anyway, what do you think Noah went through to build the ark, in persecution for obeying God, since it had never rained on the Earth before the flood, according to the Holy Bible. The land was watered from beneath before that according to it. I doubt it was easy for his family. Courage
  • Cheryl on Genesis 7 - 6 years ago
    I was told it never rained before the flood waters is this the first sign of rain coming down instead of earth being waters by mist of the earth thur God
  • Rajendrie Govender on Genesis 7 - 7 years ago
    Those select few who walked with God found favour with God and did not die under the curse, even in Genesis. It is God's desire to have a deep relationship with us. We come into relationship with God and find favour with Him when we receive Christ Jesus as our Lord and Savour. There is therefore no death for those who are in Christ but eternal life. How awesome!!
